While in the grocery store right before a team meeting, I saw some beautiful potted flowers that happened to be on sale. I purchased one and quickly left, so as not to be late.
We meet a a nearby restaurant monthly. While discussing LIVe issues, we've also blessed many people there. Leaving a REALLY nice tip for the waitress or paying for a family's bill at a nearby table.
This time I walked in and set the flowers down on our table to give us some "atmosphere" and we proceeded to eat and discuss upcoming events. At the end of our meeting, we got up from the table and paid our bills. Then I walked back to our table, put my tip on the table close to the flowers. Just then the waitress appeared from the kitchen. I complimented her on her good service that day & told her that we really hadn't needed to add decor to our table. These flowers were purchased for her, just to brighten her day. She stood there, shocked & pleased. I thought she was going to cry. "Thank you so much! Why did you do that, though?" I said that we were simply trying to show God's love in small ways, in gratitude for all He's done for us. Absolutely NO strings attached! She walked way still shocked & I think the rest of her day was just a little bit brighter.
